In the evening, the HSA base.

The setting sun reflected an orange plane on the sea, all the work near the shore stopped, important electronic equipment was transferred to the ship, and all the building materials that had been transported to the shore were covered by canopies, including tons of steel pipes, lime, wood, bamboo, stone, cables.

These materials are worth a lot of money, after all, the HSA wants to build a combination of a military base and a research base here, to accommodate the daily activities and normal living of more than 3,000 people, and they are also preparing to build a port, an airport and a parking lot on the shore for tanks and planes.

To build such a functional complex base, the materials consumed are massive, and the materials piled up on the shore are only part of them, and the accompanying transport ships cannot carry so many materials, and the remaining building materials will be slowly transported from the other side of the sea in the following period.

The monetary expenditure of the entire project should be calculated in terms of "100 million yuan".

Their project was carried out for a month and a half, and all the initial materials were transferred to the land, although it was only a part of the project materials, but the total value also exceeded the level of one billion yuan.

Including the cost of transportation, it is even higher.

With so many materials, it is impossible to re-move them back to the ship in a short period of time, and once the parent body invades this area, these materials will be contaminated, which is equivalent to a direct loss.

In addition, there are some large equipment such as excavators, as well as the manpower and time invested in the initial stage.

If the parent body is not solved without a hydrogen bomb, huge losses will fall on this team that has only been formed for a long time.

It is a very cost-effective deal to exchange a hydrogen bomb for building materials worth a billion yuan, and by the way solve a threatening target.

The cost of a hydrogen bomb will definitely not reach one billion yuan, in fact, it is much cheaper than the figure of one billion yuan, and the expensive thing about nuclear weapons is research and development, and after having technology, the cost of manufacturing a medium-yield hydrogen bomb is probably about 20 million yuan.

Even for HSA, the hydrogen bomb they loaded is not worthy of being linked to 20 million yuan at all.

Because these hydrogen bombs were left over from the state apparatus before the catastrophe and were not valuable, they were made and could no longer be turned back into valuable money and materials, and their only use was to explode.

However, the loss of money is secondary, HSA is not here to make money, the biggest threat to them is not the loss of money, but the pollution of the environment caused by the invasion of the parent body near the base.

After all, the number of people who have antibodies is only a minority, and it is impossible for everyone to have antibodies, and then they happen to be experienced crew members, soldiers, or researchers.

A significant number of them, who had grown up in the North since birth, had survived the cold and were likely to be infected by the mold that drifted through the air if they had traveled outside of the snow-covered land.

They must wear protective clothing at all times and ensure that they work in a "clean" place.

The approach of the mother increases their risk of infection all the time.

When Su Wanqing attended the meeting, he discussed this matter, and the committee unanimously agreed that the advantages of dropping the hydrogen bomb far outweighed the disadvantages.

She also thinks so, if you don't solve the mother, you can't establish a base in Zhoushan City.

If they abandon Zhoushan City, they will have to go farther away, possibly to the desert with harsh environments, and at that time, they will be further away from the land for logistical supplies, and the cost of transporting materials and living materials will further increase, and they will also face unknown risks.

After weighing the pros and cons, dropping a hydrogen bomb is the most preferred.

In Zhoushan City, there are no living people, and dropping a hydrogen bomb will not bring any psychological burden, it is equivalent to setting off a firework.

Although it will destroy precious experimental samples, what is the use of having samples if there is no stable environment for research?

As a medical expert, Su Wanqing knows that it is difficult to make a breakthrough in the research of "Hel" overnight.

To study this unique mold thoroughly, it does not take years or more than ten years.

There have been many appalling diseases in human history, smallpox, AIDS, cancer.

Doesn't anyone want to conquer these deadly diseases?

Medical experts all over the world are trying to find ways to find a cure for such diseases, once successful, it will be a huge fame and fortune, an achievement that will be remembered in history, countless people are studying it, but how many diseases are really eliminated?

Smallpox lasted for more than 3,000 years in human history before anyone thought of a way to completely eradicate it, but what about "Hel"? How many years will it exist before it is wiped out?

Even the likelihood of its eradication is extremely low, and it is much more terrifying and complex than diseases such as cancer and AIDS.

Some diseases are insolvable, and perhaps until the day she dies of old age, she will not be able to study a result, but she will edit her research results into books, edit them into materials, and let future generations step on her shoulders to move forward.

Don't think that you can make a breakthrough by relying on a special individual, you have to take your time, if you don't have a steady step, you just want to run, and you will only fall to the ground.

She stood in front of a hill of building materials, looking out at the ruins in the distance, reminiscing about her memories of coming to the city.

The hydrogen bomb will be dropped two hours later, the last time she will be able to see the city.

The city is in shambles, and the eternal buildings have collapsed into ruins due to the earthquake.

Occasionally, she dreamed of fragmentary images, hazy and blurry, and she couldn't remember what happened in her dreams, but when she woke up, she was always surrounded by a great sense of emptiness.

It is only when she is focused on her work that she can break free from this sense of emptiness.

She looked at the collapsed buildings and thought to herself, there really was nothing left.

Everything she knew was literally about to disappear from this world.

The troops on land are being evacuated from the shore in batches on transport ships, and the ships will sail back a little further before the hydrogen bombs are dropped, so as not to damage the sophisticated equipment caused by the shock wave.

Someone beckoned her to get on the boat, but she shook her head, saying that her mountain city was where she had lived for many years, and she wanted to see it for a while.

As the sun was about to set, she pulled out an old jewelry box from her pocket, opened it, and took out the beautiful ring inside.

She reached out her hand and aimed the ring on her ring finger, but she didn't put it on, shook her head, and put it away again.

Just then, a man walked up to her.

Tang Xue held her cane, looked at the ruins of the city with her, and said, "Sure enough, I am still reluctant, watching the places I used to walk every day disappear." ”

Su Wanqing glanced at her, her injuries were handled very well, there was only one band-aid on her knee, and she didn't suffer any injuries in the first place, just scratched the skin.

The puppy followed her, and although he was a lame dog, he had a good personality.

Su Wanqing has raised it for a while, and it is very obedient, even in the face of strangers, it will not bark.

It's just very timid, and when it hears a loud noise, even if it is the sound of the construction team's electric drill, it will curl up and hide in a narrow place.

At first, he didn't eat anything, but when he was hungry and after his first meal, he became very friendly.

And it's very smart.,It's like I can understand people.,It's very likable.。

I don't know why, Su Wanqing has a good impression of this puppy, maybe it's because of its eating appearance, when it eats, it always eats very fragrantly, snorting and eating, which reminds her of a familiar person, his appetite is as good as this puppy, no matter how unpalatable things can be eaten, he grinned, said It's delicious, and I want you to make it for me.

She found his shadow in a puppy, although she didn't believe in such a thing as fate and reincarnation in the past, thinking that it was all superstition, but she probably understood the psychology of those who pray to God and worship Buddha.

She squatted down, touched Xiaobai's head, picked it up, and rubbed its ears, Xiaobai obediently let her ravage without resisting at all.

"There's still twenty minutes to evacuate, come and watch with me for a while." Su Wanqing said softly.

"But someone just called me to get on the boat." Tang Xue said.

"It's okay, I'll tell them, you and I should leave in the same boat."

"That's great, I just want to see the city again." Tang Xue smiled: "I've been here since I was 12 years old, and it's been almost 7 years this year." ”

"You're not a local?"

"I'm from Jinghai, I came here to go to school because my grandfather suffered from a cerebral infarction, and was sent to the hospital here for treatment and rehabilitation, when I first came, I felt very unhappy, I didn't know anyone in the class, I was transferred from the second grade of middle school, and the middle school students got acquainted with each other in the first year, I couldn't fit into their circle, because I often skipped class, and the relationship with the new teacher was not good, at that time I thought everything here was an eyesore, five days a week, I only went to class for three days, and the rest of the time I asked for sick leave."

"Does your family care about you? They're just watching you skip class? ”

"My father is not at home all the year round, I am the child of his ex-wife, and his second wife is not my mother, so I never listen to her, she doesn't care about me, I have a sister in a combined family, I have a general relationship with her, every time she persuades me to go to school and make friends, I ignore her, when my father comes back, he will educate me, but he doesn't dare to speak loudly in front of grandpa, as soon as he comes back, I go to find grandpa, so at home, basically no one cares about me."

"I didn't expect you to be so rebellious, I'm different from you, I've been well-behaved since I was a child, and I've never skipped class."

"You can see that you must be that kind of good girl when you are studying."

"After all, my parents are both doctors and have traditional personalities, I can't imagine any reason for me to skip class, if I skip class, they will definitely lock me in my room, and then the two of them take turns to fight, educate me seriously, enlighten me, and must force me to make up some heartfelt words to tell them, and finally I must write a review of thousands of words, saying that this is all for my good, that is terrible."

"It shows that they care about you very much, like my father wouldn't do this, when I skipped class, he asked me for a tutor, he didn't bother to care about me, so he called someone else to take care of me."

"Don't you have any friends at school?"

"It's not so miserable, there are still a few people who can be considered friends, and I'm willing to go to school, just because there are a few girls of the same age who can chat, and those boys who are sexy, there are always people who come to me to talk, stuff love letters in my drawer and put chocolates, I don't know what they think, as if they understand me very well, they don't say a few words, just say what they like, love or something, teenage kids, know what love is."

"It's like you weren't a teenager at the time."

"I'm definitely different from them, I've been traveling abroad since elementary school, I have to travel abroad every year, I can speak foreign languages, I have a private tutor, I live in a big house, although I don't say it in my heart, but I just think I'm higher than them, so I won't fall in love with them, I felt at that time, no one in this world is worthy of me, my wife I don't have any boyfriend, when I grow up, I will spend money to support handsome guys, don't talk about love, only talk about money."

"Actually, there's no need to think so, I used to think about love or something, it seems to be very far away, what's so good about men, I feel disgusting when I think of men and women kissing, I almost didn't talk to the opposite sex when I was in school, and I didn't hold a man's hand until I was in my twenties, but later, I met Amori, I found out that you can love someone, and then that person reciprocates you with love, it turns out to be such a beautiful thing."

"So you think love is beautiful? Would you be willing to show up to you now and let you follow him? ”

Tang Xue looked sideways, the red sunset reflected in her dark eyes, and Su Wanqing's haggard face.

Su Wanqing was stunned for a moment, I don't know when, she became like this, she is in her thirties, she is about to be forty, she is already an old woman, working day and night, making her age faster than ordinary women, she has wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, her hair is dry, and her mouth is dry and white, because she doesn't drink much water.

She is no longer young, no longer beautiful, such a her, if Ashou stands in front of her, will she still say "I love you" to her?

It's really unruly, and he would doubt him, if it was him, he wouldn't change.

She has only been in love once since she was a child, and she has always believed that love is unwavering, and if he stands here and reaches out to her, maybe she will really hold it and follow him.

But this is impossible, she smiled relievedly: "If he appears in a dream, I will definitely follow him." ”

"Is this so" Tang Xue looked up at the sky: "But I hate dreams, whether it's a dream or a nightmare, I hate it, I hate to use letters and photos to recall the past, if it's a dream, then it's meaningless." ”

"So, I'm so sorry, Dr. Su, please do me a favor, I'll be grateful to you."

Su Wanqing felt something sharp and cold, resting it on her neck, making her wake up from her memories at once.
